The SiloPatrol® Inventory Monitoring System is the first truly robust cable-based smart sensor system. It is a field-proven approach to reliably monitoring the level of material in bins, silos and tanks up to 150 ft (45.7 m) in height.

The heart of any inventory monitoring system is the sensor itself. The Silo Monitoring Unit (SMU) sensor requires no field adjustments and its robust design provides virtually maintenance-free operation. The SMU is suited for most any application and can be equipped with various mounting flanges and plumb bobs.

The SiloPatrol system also offers the most sensor interface choices. If a standalone sensor with analog output and no operator interface display is what you are looking for, the SMU is available in this type of configuration at the lowest cost in the industry. Alternatively, the multifunctional Human Machine Interface (HMI) connects with the standard "smart" communication output version of the SMU and incorporates a robust electronic design.

The SiloPatrol system also features software interfaces. The SiloTrack™ PC-based Inventory Management Software provides a flexible graphical interface for up to 128 "smart" output sensors. Also available is an ActiveX® software package that simplifies the integration of the "smart" output SMUs into an existing PLC/PC control system.
